progressive order – from a beginning level to advanced.And, thismagnum opusdoes ingeniously address the many
pedagogical demands of the ambitious piano student and those of the innovative instructor.
The harmonic language ofGRADUS, while distinctly original and imaginative, remains remarkably
accessible and musically enjoyable to its interpreter and listener.This is music of our time.The compositions of
GRADUSstraightaway explore the geography of the keyboard, while expediting a student’s note-reading and other
diverse pianistic skills.Above all, this series encourages an independence of thought and fosters the imagination.
The ordering of the repertoire within is totally subjective.This aspect alone would assuredly be a challenge
to any composer and/or editor.For instance, a technically less demanding work may be placed later in the series
due to its perceived musical or interpretive exigencies – and vice versa.
Those who exploreGRADUS willnotice theNineteen Nocturnestherein – an analogous contained
deference to Chopin’s coinciding set of the identical quantity.Additionally, the composer has rendered regards
to Debussy with theTwelve Etudesdispersed throughout the series.Pedagogically, the sonatina form has been a
cherished vehicle among neophytes and pedagogues.Manookian has penned no less than seven of these jewels
for this present collection.Nonetheless,GRADUSis a compilation of the highest innovation and has no equal in
the abundance of pedagogical material written for the piano.
Jeff Manookian’s original compositions have received worldwide accolades via their garnering numerous
top awards, commissions, commercial recordings, and publications.His works are currently performed by
symphony orchestras around the globe as well as by other world-class ensembles, choirs, and soloists.As a critically
acclaimed pianist and conductor, Manookian has extensively concertized internationally.
The composer funneled his best creative efforts and intrinsic keyboard knowledge into the creation of
GRADUS. Itsrealization occupied the span of approximately fifteen years.GRADUSis dedicated to memory of
Manookian’s two Bichon Frise dogs, Phillip and Lizzy – inasmuch as they were at his feet throughout the writing
of virtually every note.
As the editor ofGRADUS, I have endeavored to provide those who study these remarkable compositions
with numerous interpretive insights and editorial indications.I profess a unique affinity and understanding of
Manookian’s music, having had the distinction of professionally collaborating with this composer via several
premieres of his large-scale works as well as with other notable musical projects.Above all, I can claim Jeff
Manookian as my close friend.
Substantial gratitude is extended to Robin Korones – a formidable pedagogue in her own right.Her
altruistic efforts in the proofreading ofGRADUSand her enlightening suggestions became invaluable in bringing
this work to its final form.
